in progress>>Morser ‘karl’ Gerat>>Part 3

Yesterday, I have finished the paint job for Morser. Even though this tank only consist of one color (mono-camo), the paint itself consist of three different colors. I use German Grey, Dark Grey, and Light Grey.

Because of the tank’s size, I can’t find a big enough background for it😀

A mono-camo tank are not actually monotone. They are made from several shade of color. I use German Grey for the darkest color (also function as pre-shade), then followed by Dark Grey as the base color, and Light Gray for highlight and make the paint looks more worn out. I mix the Light Gray color with more thinner than usual because I want to achieve a thin result on the highlight (also prevent me from overdoing it). This various tone of color is still gonna be added with filtering and fading effect later on .

That thing must have been huge (is that a piece drawing block you used?).
The tanks’ texture looks like aged and tarnished metal, but I suspect that you’ll be adding other textures and diorama out of it, right? =D

What a great paint job!!! I am currently working on the rail mounted version of this model by Trumpeter. Could I obtain a similar result by using the colors direct from a spray can as I do not use a spray gun???Any help would be most appreciated,
